FINEXPO EVALUATION<br />
As compared to ORET, ORIO 81 enhances the importance of the<br />
development impact and sustainability and add the striving for<br />
long-lasting relations and twinning embedded in strong institutions<br />
(capacity building). ORIO is not in particular aimed at supporting<br />
the export of Dutch goods and supplies (tied and untied aid). The<br />
programme is more a chain-approach than an approach in benefit<br />
of an individual company. In this approach export of capital goods<br />
may be financed as a component, but hardly as a stand-alone<br />
activity. ORIO assumes to provide better connectivity with SME’s in<br />
recipient countries.<br />
ORIO is open to two categories of countries: ORIO A for the LDCs<br />
and ORIO-B for a predetermined list of other countries. The<br />
procedures are different. For ORIO A the OECD-DAC Guidelines for<br />
untied aid are strictly adhered to. Since no international<br />
competitive bidding is required for the ORIO-B activities, in<br />
accordance to the OECD arrangement ORIO-B will be considered as<br />
de jure tied aid.<br />

infrastructure for drinking water supply;<br />
collection and treatment of waste water and solid<br />

by multilateral financiers.<br />
RPE is restricted to emerging countries with high potential.<br />
Eligible countries are Algeria, Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, Indonesia,<br />
Morocco, the Philippines, Pakistan, Tunisia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka,<br />

see<br />
81 The grants are registered as Official Development Assistance (ODA) as defined by the DAC Guiding Principles for Associated<br />
Financing and Tied and Partially Untied Official Development Aid (April 1987) of the OESO. Hence, the grants are not considered<br />
as “subsidies” in terms of public finance. The concessionary element of ORIO for the non LDCs will be at least the percentage<br />
agreed upon with OECD: 35%; for LDCs this is at least 50%; while for fragile states the grant element might be as high as<br />
80%.<br />
